title: [Long-term results and histologic studies following surgical correction of congenital penis deviation].
abstract: Between 1982 and 1988, 11 patients with congenital penile curvature without hypospadia or chordee were operated according to the technique originally described by Nesbit. In all these patients the operative results were reevaluated after a period of 1 1/2 to 7 years (average 3 3/4 years). Normal sexual intercourse was possible for all 11 men, and good long-term cosmetic results were noted. In contrast to formerly published results, histological examination of the segments resected from the tunica albuginea showed fibrotic tissue in some cases, which could play an important role in the etiology and/or pathogenesis of congenital penile curvature.
